Summary "Haarmann. Die Geschichte eines Werwolfs" by Theodor Lessing is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the crimes committed by Fritz Haarmann, often referred to as the "Kanibal von Hannover," intertwining his life story with the sociopolitical context of post-World War I Germany. It examines themes such as moral decay, societal disintegration, and the psychological underpinnings of Haarmann's criminal behavior. The opening of the narrative sets a grim tone, detailing the atmosphere of Hanover in the aftermath of the war, characterized by desperation and moral decline. It introduces a series of gruesome discoveries of human skulls and bones that incite panic in the community, giving rise to myths of a "werewolf" amidst the backdrop of rampant crime and societal chaos. The narrative further establishes Haarmann's life, portraying him as an unstable individual entangled in a world of deceit, homosexuality, and criminality. As the story unfolds, it paints a detailed psychological portrait of Haarmann, hinting at the complex interplay between his tumultuous personal history and the horrific acts he commits.
